Our First Snow (That Stuck!) at Our New House

On Monday we had temperatures up to 66 degrees and then on Tuesday we had this:Everyone knows you have to eat the snow to really know what it's like!

Okay, all moms with little ones know the scene. You spend many lllloooonnnggg minutes searching out all of the snowpants, boots, mittens, coats, hats, and then just as many minutes wrestling the kids into all of the aforementioned items.
